Here’s what Kimmi, my friend and blog assistant, has to say about these knives:

Yes, more prizes to help you avoid knife envy!

Because most people could use a new knife once in a while, right?

I like these knives but I am a rookie – I’m sure there may be better out there, but this is the nicest one I have.

Maybe I’m the only dumb dumb that was using some silly steak knives for food prep?

My sister in law stayed at the house a couple of years ago with our kids while we were away and called while making chili to ask where my chopping knife was. I told her where all of the knives were and what she saw is what we had. She was incredulous at how we had gotten along without a chopping knife for chopping onions and other veggies etc. I had never had one so didn’t know any other way. Well the sweetheart went out and bought one for us and I have used that knife probably almost every single day since! (The single knife pictured is the type she bought for me.)

I’m not quite sure what I had used before but definitely love having this knife now and it is an essential tool for me today. A knife or knife set is just not that “fun” to shop for or spend money on but once I had this new knife I was hooked. I figured that my very practical parents could use one of these and they are pretty hard to buy for because they don’t really NEED anything. We put one in a Christmas goodie basket for them and now they too understand the benefits of having this knife in the kitchen!

Thanks Kimmi! So do you want one yet? I do! I’m adding it to my wish list.

I hope I am doing everything correctly. I haven’t won any giveaways yet, but I do everything I can in the raffle thing so I think I’m entered. I need a good paring knife and I think the 4″ knife would be the one for me. If I don’t win this one maybe I can get it for my birthday. I would put a happy face here, but I don’t know how.

I love a great chopping knife and this knife looks like it can stand the test of my kitchen. The 5 inch knife also looks like a great option. Sometimes the shorter knives are a little more manageable. I’ve never tried the Santokus but am hoping to win so I can. I am signed up for the newsletter. Thanks

Okay, so I would pick the same knife (the 7″ Satouku) pictured. Why? Because I own Henckel knives (in a butcher block no less), but not THAT one. And I switch between a paring knife, and longer paring knife to “chop” because the next one up is for Bread, and the next one after that is too large. I would love to make chopping that much easier!

I would choose the chef’s knife because I like the shape better. I tried one of the Santoku style one’s at a pampered chef party and didn’t really like the feel of it. The one I currently own is the chef’s knife style (although seriously needs some sharpening help), and it just feels better in my hand.

I would probably choose the knife shown because I LOVE a good santoku knife! We have a pretty good one now (actually, we have two different sizes) but I like to use separate items for meats, fruits/veggies, bread, etc. If I had one more santoku knife, I could sing to people when they came over “Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat, wouldn’t you say my collections complete?” a la Little Mermaid

Oh my, your assistant is right and I have such a THING for knives. Some of them the men are simply not allowed to even touch in my house. I have a block for everyday And a little shelf with a row of paring knives And a drawer where my best knives and my cleaver live nested on a dish cloth.

So, what I would buy would be this thing that I have been coveting that I am pretty sure is still technically a knife:

I would chose the knife you have chosen. I have not taken the time or have the resources to purchase a new knife. This knife is much better than my old dull knives. Thank you for your newsletter, I enjoy it very much!

I would pick the 8 inch chef knife because I have some very beautiful young adults who are handy in the kitchen. We are learning to make some wonderful real food and love helping each other. I can see why women got together and prepared their food. It is way more fun. The time goes by so quickly.

I’m a subscriber (sung to “I’m a believer yeah yeah yeah yeah”)! My husband and sons love to sharpen knives AND they all cook. We can’t have too many kitchen knives around this house. I eat real good!!!

If I win, I would definitely get the steak knives since my son inadvertently had one in his backpack when we went through airport security (long story) and they had to confiscate it so now I only have 7 instead of 8, so I could have my set of 8 and some left over.

I LOVE J.A. Henckels knives and have used them for years. I am in need of another paring knife or 6″ utility knife, as someone in my household used mine to pry open something with it and did the almost impossible…bent the sharp tip of it.

I’d probably choose a different knife. I’m kind of like Kimmie was with using the steak knives for everything, so I’d probably pick something like the “J.A. Henckels International Fine Edge Pro 2-Piece Hollow Edge Santoku Set” just because its cheaper and you get 2 knives, then I could throw in some paring knives too, because I reallllly need some of those (i know I had 2 before I moved, where the heck could they have disappeared to?!? lol). Also, I just don’t know enough about knives to know the difference, and that set looks like it would be good for what I’d use it for.

I would choose the knife in the link because I am still searching for that perfect knife. Being short and kind of wimpy, I think I need a knife with a good balance. The Henkel knife that came with my wedding set 10 years ago is nice, but not quite right.

I would choose the knife link also. My mom could really use some new knifes. Her newest knifes are almost 15 years old and super dull. With Mothers Day coming up, this is a perfect oppertunity to give her the late mothers day present she needs. Thankyou so much for doing these “giveaways” and the chance to win all of them!

I think this would be way better than the knives we have. I’ve held expensive knives at the store, but I’ve never used one. If I didn’t like the knife, I’d probably get some of the textbooks on my wishlist, or some new kitchen gadgets.

Oops, sorry! I put in the wrong e-mail address. This should fix it. =)

I love your newsletter, Kelly! It’s always informative about current topics that everyone should be aware of. And I love your Wednesday newsletter with all the recipes and blog articles that other bloggers send you. Thanks for helping me with my quest for eating and living healthy!

I have a decent chopping knife, but the set I have didn’t come with a filet knife, so that is what I would choose. I’ve been having a rough time with skinning meats and could really put a good filet knife to use!

I would chose the cleaver. I’ve ALWAYS wanted one. I don’t even know if they work better… I just think they look classic. Besides, we buy a lot of meat from a (local!) butcher and I do a lot of hacking with my smaller Henckels knives. It would be LOVELY to have a proper meat knife!

I think I would like the 8-in. chef’s knife. I don’t really like the straight blade of a big knife. I much prefer a rounded blade, using the rocking motion, if I’m doing a lot of chopping, slicing, etc.
